Climatic conditions
Ural Mountains are located in the continental and moderately-concrete climate belt zone. The peculiarity of the mountain range is that the change of seasons of the year occurs differently in the foothills and at an altitude of 900 meters, at which winter comes earlier. The first snow here falls in September, and the cover lies almost all year round. Snow can cover mountain peaks even in the hottest month of summer in July. The wind walking in open areas makes the climate of the Urals even more severe. The temperature minimum of winter reaches –57 degrees Celsius, and the maximum in summer rises to +33 degrees.
